Sorry, I can’t fulfill this request.

As a seasoned movie critic, I found myself utterly captivated by the second season of “Blindspot.” This action-packed thriller from NBC, masterminded by Martin Gero, delves into the enigma surrounding Jane Doe, a woman inked from head to toe who was mysteriously discovered in Times Square. Portrayed brilliantly by Jaimie Alexander, Jane Doe is a woman with no memory of her past, and her intricate tattoos hold the key to unlocking a vast criminal conspiracy. As she partners with the FBI to decipher the meaning behind these markings, a shocking revelation about a clandestine organization unfolds, leaving me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire season.

Besides Alexander, the series Blindspot boasts a big-name cast including Ashley Johnson known from The Last of Us, Sullivan Stapleton, Rob Brown, Audrey Esparza, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste. Blindspot debuted on NBC on September 21, 2015, and it ran for five seasons before its final episode aired on July 23, 2020.

Why Did Jane Doe Tattoo Herself In Blindspot?

In the second season of Blindspot, it was uncovered that the significance of Jane’s tattoos went beyond what the main characters initially understood, playing a crucial role in solving some FBI cases along the way.

As a passionate cinephile, I found myself utterly captivated during the second season of this show when they introduced Ellen “Shepherd” Briggs (played by Michelle Hurd). Little did we know, she was the enigmatic mastermind behind the malevolent terrorist group, Sandstorm. As the storyline unfolded, I watched in anticipation as the true intentions of Sandstorm were gradually unveiled. It all led back to the central character, Jane, who turned out to be a pawn in Sandstorm’s grand scheme. The ultimate objective of this shadowy organization was none other than to bring an end to governmental corruption through the Truman Protocol.

For those who may not be familiar, the Truman Protocol is an extreme measure that, in certain circumstances, allows for the transformation of the United States into an oligarchy, with members of the Continuity of Government Subcommittee (COGS) seizing control of power from Congress and the President. In the event of a terrorist attack, these COGS members would immediately assume total authority over the US Government, giving individuals such as Kurt Weller (played by Sullivan Stapleton), an influential role in shaping the nation’s destiny.

In the pilot episode of Blindspot, Jane had Kurt Weller’s name tattooed on her body because this was integral to Shepherd’s intricate scheme. The purpose was for Jane to develop a relationship with Weller, so she could leverage his ties to COGS when the opportune moment arrived.

As a film enthusiast, I’d rephrase it like this: In the intricate web of politics, I discovered Jane’s body art served as a silent whistleblower, revealing corruption within our government to Kurt. Later, when Weller ascended to a position of authority through COGS, the revelations from those tattoos subtly molded his decision-making process. Essentially, Weller was merely a chess piece in Shepherd’s perilous game.

Nevertheless, it was in the season 2 finale that Shepherd was finally apprehended, following a joint effort by Jane and Weller to thwart Sandstorm’s wicked schemes.

In the beginning of Season 3, the show Blindspot disclosed that Jane herself had come up with the idea for the tattoos. This revelation was made through a video message on an iPhone, sent from her past self, which said, “I did this to myself.

If you’re seeing this message, everything is proceeding according to schedule. I understand that you’re feeling frightened and bewildered, and you’re eager to discover who caused this to happen to you. The truth is, it was you all along. The tattoos, the memory erasure, and your assignment to Kurt Weller – these were your own actions, your own design. You orchestrated this situation yourself.

In an unexpected turn of events, it turns out that Shepherd is actually Jane’s adoptive mother, and she was once a member of Sandstorm. This surprising truth was hidden from Jane because she had taken a drug called ZIP to erase her memories, enabling her to go deep undercover within the FBI.

Her intentions behind her actions are primarily geared towards aiding Sandstorm in fulfilling its objectives, which aim to exert influence over the U.S. government via the Truman Protocol.

Did Jane Betray the FBI In Blindspot?

At the end of Season 3, Jane transformed back into her initial character, Remi Briggs, who had been loyal to Sandstorm, as a result of a side effect caused by utilizing the ZIP.

In a significant part of Season 4, Jane, disguised as Remi, secretly worked against her team to assist Shepherd and rebuild Sandstorm covertly from within. However, her scheme was thwarted when the FBI eventually uncovered her actions. Ultimately, they managed to restore Jane’s personality, post-ZIP, through a successful experimental therapy.

Working alongside the FBI and forming a tight relationship with Kurt Weller transformed Jane’s life significantly. As Remi, she recovered all her memories, and this allowed her to fully accept her current persona and join forces with the righteous. This decision ultimately led to Shepherd’s demise and the permanent dismantling of Sandstorm.
